Tiffany Henyard’s power struggle takes a twist

South suburban politician Tiffany Henyard’s struggle to stay in power took a strange turn in recent days when her attorney filed – and then quickly dropped – a lawsuit claiming she was illegally blocked from participating in democratic caucus slating meeting.

“I am shocked by the politics of it all,” Henyard attorney Max Solomon told WGN Investigates Monday morning.

Solomon said he dropped the lawsuit after Dixmoor mayor Fitzgerald Roberts demanded to have his name removed from the lawsuit as a co-petioner alongside Henyard. Solomon says he plans to re-file the lawsuit with the same claims but without Roberts.
